The progression

Governor
A couple of months ago there was quite a bit of hype about Gov Chris Christy. The question was whether he would come in as a last minute candidate. He assured everybody that his ONLY interest was in running New Jersey.

Then quite recently he made a trip to Israel.

Now we're talking about who Romney might choose as a running mate. Christy, who just happens to be in the news again because he is busy helping Gov Walker in WI, is being asked whether he would consider being the magic running mate. It is being reported that if asked, he would certainly be willing to do his duty to the country.

Somehow I would not exactly be shocked if Romney was to pick Christy.

So much for New Jersey.

Interestingly..."National Review Online" has a lead article....saying NO to Christie, due to him being "soft on Muslims".

As with any of the 'candidates', once the MSM is used to tell you who you'll be allowed to vote for, it really won't matter what their record is. It will be what they say it will be.

As usual of course, they're trying to ignore the fact that Ron Paul is still in the running and winning lots of delegates. They're trying to say that it's all decided now, but there again, RP is a thorn in their side.
 
Not really. Romney will get 1144...and thus Paul's delegates will be superfluous.

To throw a bone to Ron, the RNC may offer him a "non-prime time speech"...but ONLY if he keeps it to domestic policy and Government spending, not defense or foreign policy.

But that's it.

Granted, it's a long shot but with the amount of time left Romney could get run over by a bus, literally or figuratively. He has been known to say some strange things at times and Obama will be hitting him with both barrels.

While Romney does have a lot of delegates so far, he doesn't have as many as the media likes to say he has, and RP has quite a few more than they care to admit. It's still a race.
 
No...if Mitt Romney were caught in bed (as the old political adage goes) with a live boy or a dead girl....

the RNC would convene at the Tampa Convention, strongarm the Romney delegates into supporting some "other Romney" (Christie, Rob Portman, Mitch Daniels, etc.)....and Romney delegates would support that replacement, while Newt and Santorum and Paul would dream dreams of "winning on the 11th ballot".

but they would only be dreams. The RNC chose Romney....they would choose his replacement...and Gingrich, Rick, and Ron....couldn't stop them.

That was an excellent debate. There is no other candidate who is as educated on financial matters. When you look at all of the austerity measures that are being taken in other countries and then look at what they're starting to do here, you should be able to see what is already in progress. Our people are having important things being cut so that we can keep supplying more money overseas. The only diplomacy this country seems to know is that of buying people and countries. It's a case of if you do what we want, we'll keep giving you $billions of dollars.

The value of our money has been totally dependent on it's being the reserve currency in the world for oil purchases. RP mentioned that Iran has already started to sell in other currencies, but they're not alone. China, Russia, India, Brazil and a number of other countries are already starting to do their trading in other currencies. As that gains momentum, the dollar will absolutely lose it's edge. We can't go to war with everybody.

We took out Ghaddafi and Saddam because they were pulling away from the dollar, but we can't do it everywhere. Without that reserve status, it's just colored paper. We really do need to do something besides killing as many people as possible to continue to be a super power. Once people no longer want or need our dollar we'll be toast.

A lot of people believe that we went to war in Iraq and other places to get their oil. That's not exactly the case. We've gone to war to be able to control the way it's sold. If that wasn't the case, we'd be swimming in the stuff by now.
 
Ron's conspiracy theories...and links to bigots...doomed him any REAL future in national politics.

This was his "Last Hurrah"....before passing the torch to Rand, who is a more "standard conservative Republican".
